Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff has officially listed forward Sam Carrick as day-to-day, according to a report from Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. The update regarding Carrick’s status was provided following the team's practice session on Tuesday, where the veteran forward was a participant.
While Carrick was on the ice with his teammates today, the "day-to-day" designation suggests a minor issue that the Sabres' medical staff is monitoring closely. Ruff did not elaborate on the specific nature of the injury or whether Carrick is expected to miss any upcoming game action. Carrick remains a key depth piece for the Buffalo lineup, and his availability will be a point of focus for the coaching staff leading up to their next contest.
The Sabres are expected to provide further clarity on Carrick's status following their next scheduled morning skate. For now, the team will evaluate how the forward responds to today's practice workload before making a final determination on his lineup status. per @FriedgeHNIC.
